Question

Of the following carbonyl compounds, which would be most likely to give a single product in a crossed aldol condensation reaction with acetophenone? Circle your answer(s). Predict the initial aldol product (A) and the aldol condensation product (B) for the aldol reaction shown below. Place your final answers in the boxes provided A student habitually adds excess reagents to try to maximize yields. In today's procedure, he adds a two-fold excess of acetone. What product is he likely to isolate? Who and in what year was the aldol reaction discovered? What was the other occupation of the person who discovered the aldol condensation?

Explanation / Answer

1.

option C is correct answer

he alredy said thet crossed aldol

crossed aldol means two different carbonyl compounds will involve

in crossed if you want only one product means out of two starting materials only one should have the enolisable hydrogen and another shouldnt have enolisable hydrogen

one compound he alredy given in that enolisable (alpha hydrogen) is there

so find anothe substrate in options which doent have enolisable hydrogen

reast all th esubstrates will give mixed aldol products
